As always LA can't write to save themselves. More procedural holes in this than a cartoon swiss cheese block. The French inspiration for this show "Astrid & Raphielle / Astrid: Murder in Paris", and it's British counterpart " Patience ", are so superior to this, it's like comparing a kids drawing to a Renior.

I enjoy US crime dramas for sheer escapism from reality usually. This was worse than watching castle for its silliness. The actors do what they can with it. Not that there is much to work with. How on earth this got picked up for a second season is astounding. It shouldn't have made it past the writing room.

Telling the story from the FBI's perspective is a solid premise for a show. However at 30 mins its ridiculously short for what is an involved process. Even if it really were a discussion between colleagues it takes far longer to cover the case to someone not tied into it. In each episode its all glossed over and barely any detail. All the info discussed you can get on wiki so it doesn't even serve its purpose as a promotional show for the FBI.

Much of the production you can see mimics the old classic crime documentaries. Yet some how this manages to feel even more simplified than they were back in the day.

There was so much that could have been done with this show, yet they wasted it all.
